TLC has canceled Here Comes Honey Boo Boo in light of reports that June "Mama June" Shannon has been dating an ex-boyfriend who was convicted of molesting one of her relatives who was 8 years old at the time.

Mark Anthony Randall served 10 years for aggravated child molestation and was released in March. Mama June, who split from Honey Boo Boo's father "Sugar Bear" earlier this year, was allegedly dating Randall at the time of his arrest and started seeing him upon his release, according to TMZ.

Mama June posted a video on Facebook defending herself and denying that she's been seeing Randall:

TLC has reportedly shot a new season of the show, but will not be airing it.

In a statement, the network told Mashable, "TLC has cancelled the series Here Comes Honey Boo Boo and ended all activities around the series, effective immediately. Supporting the health and welfare of these remarkable children is our only priority. TLC is faithfully committed to the children's ongoing comfort and well-being.”
